Men that have Gheērāh (protective jealousy for their womenfolk)are very rare, societies is filled with Ad-Dayyuth.

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

“There are three upon whom Allāh has made Paradise Ḥarām (forbidden):

• The one addicted to intoxicants

• The one who is disobedient (to his parents)

• And the Dayyooth (shameless one) who approves lewd/evil acts of his womenfolk.”

📓-[ رواه النسائي في السنن ٦١١٣]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“And that is because Gheerāh (protective jealousy) is from the basis of this religion so whoever lacks it then he lacks Deen, hence to Allāh a Dayyooth is the most vile creature and Jannah is Harām upon him.”

📓-[الجواب الكافي]

You want to marry a practicing Muslim man but you also want him to flaunt you everywhere - think again cause a practicing Muslim man wouldn't want to be a Dayyuth he would have Gheērāh.

How blessed is the woman that finds a man who loves Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ more than he loves her and he is jealous for her!

No unknown men Shall have right to enjoy the beauty of his wife

Send Abundant Blessings upon Prophet ﷺ

عن أوس بن أوس - رضي الله عنه - قال:

قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -:
«إن من أفضل أيامكم يوم الجمعة، فأكثروا
علي من الصلاة فيه؛ فإن صلاتكم معروضة
علي».

رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح.
[تطريز رياض الصالحين]

انشروا.
فالدال علی الخیر كفاعله

The hadith narrated by Aws ibn Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) is a reminder to increase our prayers upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on Fridays. He said:

“Indeed, one of the best of your days is Friday, so increase your prayers upon me on it, for your prayers are presented to me.”

Narrated by Abu Dawood with a sound chain of narration.

This hadith emphasizes the virtue of Friday and the importance of frequently sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ on this day, as it carries great reward and merit.

Sometimes in life, we reach a point where we have two paths: one leading to Allāh and the other to our desires. In those moments, choosing Allāh’s command and following His path seems like hardest thing to do. But we often forget that when we leave something for Allāh, He blesses us with something better.

One thing about our desires is , once they are fulfilled, there is no real fulfillment in it.
They often leave us hollow. We desire things one after another, and the cycle is never ending.

Whereas when Allāh blesses us with something, there is peace in that fulfillment and a kind of contentment.

So, let this be a gentle reminder to myself and to all of you:
when life brings you to a road where you have to choose between Allāh and your desires, choose Allāh.

For when one choose Allāh's path he opens other beautiful paths for us that we have never imagined.

أيمن بنت ذاكِر

The Prophet ﷺ said,

“Let one of you ask his Lord for his needs, all of them, even for a shoestring when it breaks.” (Tirmidhi 3604)

Sometimes we hesitate, thinking our needs are “too minor” to bring before our Lord.

But who else is it that will provide for you if not Allāh سبحانه و تعالى?

A’isha رضي الله عنها said,

“Ask Allāh for everything, even shoelaces, because if Allāh does not make it easy for you to obtain it, you will not obtain it.”

Even for something as insignificant as a broken shoelace, remember that Allāh is the One who provides, and He is near.

“Or who is it that will provide for you if He withholds His provision?” (Qur’an 67:21)

What’s amazing is that Allāh has made Himself directly accessible to us. We don’t need any intermediaries to reach Him.

Whenever the people asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ questions, Allāh would respond by saying, “Say [O Muhammad]...”

But when they asked about Allāh Himself, the response was personal:

“When My servants ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about Me: I am truly near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me.” (Qur’an 2:186)

So ask Only Allāh for all the things that you want in your life.
